Product Description
Product Description
The Second Edition of this bestseller combines directions for the old tried and true methods of photographic documentation (cameras, films, lighting sources) with analyses of the latest methods used in the practice (video, thermography,digital imaging). Specifically, Redsicker discusses the "how-to" of basic photography, shows the essentials of videography, and offers the fundamentals of aerial, underwater, and surveillance photography as they relate to the presentation of evidence in court. Redsicker presents this information in a practical, step-by-step fashion that is bound to enable students and professionals alike to use any camera to produce their own documentations of forensic evidence.
The introduction to each chapter approaches the subject of forensic photography from its "how to" basics to the proper and accepted methods of presentation of forensic photographic evidence in court. The subject matter is then presented-accompanied by illustrations and numerous examples-as a medium against which practitioners can compare their work. The glossary of terms provided at the end of the book is beneficial to the forensic photographer in the preparation of reports and courtroom testimony. Overall, The Practical Methodology of Forensic Photography, Second Edition is both a learning tool for the student of this specialized field and a necessary reference manual for the professional community. It is as useful in the classroom, laboratory, and attorney's library as it is in the field during investigation.

With the mass changes being brought about by digital photography the book is getting a little dated, that said if you do not have the photographic skills in the first place no amount of digital fiddling will fix it and will land you in hot water.

Not worth a purchase
23 Jan 2001
Format:Hardcover
The author completely misses the mark with the title. It should be "How to be Fire Photographer Groupie". The author is apparently a civilian photographer with no law enforcement , crime scene investigation experience. The major topics covered are private investigator fire photographer applications with no real technical advice. He seems to justify the lack of technical advice by stating early on that he assumes the reader knows this information. My guess is the author lacks real world experience and does not know what really happens at a crime scene. Take a pass on this book.

Disappointing and out of date
6 May 2005
Format:Hardcover
I bought this book as I need to be better at taking photographs during investigations of workplace injury incidents and hoped it would help.
It was therefore disappointing to find that the book (published in 2000) mostly offered suggested reading that was 20 to 30 years old.
The equipment suggestions were also dated (even allowing that the book might have been prepared in 1999).
The subject range was mostly in the range of police and fire service work even though forensic work can cover much more ground.
This is the most expensive textbook I have bought for many years, and so, overall, it was not good value for money for me.
